				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>International confidence in Vietnam’s economic recovery has seen $1.69bn of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) ploughed into the country’s real estate market during the first half of the year.</strong></span></p>
<p><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/houseinsaigon/pic/55714e4de08f4.png" alt="tortoise" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://vietapartment.com/project/detail/gateway-thao-dien-285" target="_blank">Gateway Thao Dien apartment in District 2</a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The figures are a <strong>50% increase</strong> on the equivalent period of the previous year.  The first half of 2014 saw <strong>$1.13bn FDI</strong> enhance the market, itself seen at the time as an encouraging figure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This new money coincides with wider investment trends in construction of <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/2015-investment-in-ho-chi-minh-city-infrastructure-surpasses-8billion/" target="_blank">new property and infrastructure, particularly in areas around the country’s economic capital, Ho Chi Minh City</a></u></span>.  The construction of new retail and commercial units, on top of transport developments such as the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/15-000-billions-vnd-to-build-monorail-trains-in-ho-chi-minh-city/" target="_blank">new Metro line</a></u></span>, are said to be worth close to <strong>$9bn dollars</strong> – with even better figures expected in the latter half of the year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The figure of <strong>$1.69bn</strong>, released by the Ministry of Planning and Investment, covers the year until the end of June.  Crucially, this was the period immediately before <strong>legal changes</strong>, <span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/foreigners-property-and-vietnam-an-introduction/" target="_blank">allowing foreign individuals and companies to buy property in Vietnam</a></u></span>, were enacted on the <strong>1<sup>st</sup> of July</strong> – an act expected to dramatically increase the inward flow of <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/asian-investors-returning-to-vietnamese-property/" target="_blank"><u>overseas capital</u>. </a></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">With pre-changes FDI accounting for around 19% of the year’s new money, experts are predicting an even greater upsurge in interest from overseas buyers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Asset ownership opportunities</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Industry leaders are suggesting that foreign businesses – already attracted to Vietnam due to <strong>lower labor costs</strong> and capital investment requirements – will be further enticed by the <strong>prospect of fully owning production units</strong> such as factories and warehouses.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>CBRE Vietnam</strong> is one such leader backing the claim of Vietnam’s increasing appeal to overseas enterprises.  Mrs. Nguyen Hoai An, VP of research for CBRE, says “The potential ROI (return on investment) for businesses taking root in Vietnam is substantially higher than key regional competitors.  Such large-scale expansion and economic repurposing, as is happening in the east of HCMC, just isn’t possible in space-restricted island-states like Hong Kong or Singapore.  Additional asset ownership opportunities simply sweeten the deal for wavering speculators.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Residential property benefit</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The $1.69bn in FDI is focused <strong>22 new or extended projects</strong>.  These include <strong>Empire City in District 2</strong>, a collaboration involving the Government, local investors and the UK’s Denver Power Ltd.</span></p>
<p><img src="http://sala-apartment.com/img/sala-2.jpg" alt="Sala premium residence in District 2, luxury project of great Sarimi apartment and Saroma Villa for you." /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 12pt; color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://sala-apartment.com/" target="_blank">Sala apartment, opposite to Empire City in District 2</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In addition to increased interest from foreign and Viet Kieu individuals, attracted by law changes allowing their legal ownership of property for the first time, developers are also banking on increased buying power from the growing number of upwardly-mobile locals.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“The volume of new entrants into the Vietnamese middle-classes is continuing to grow”, said Mrs. Nguyen, “and the luxury segment of the real estate market is expected to become even more profitable.  The relative stability of the economy in the face of regional turbulence – buoyed by closer economic ties to the West<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;"> <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://moderngolddigital.com/tpp-and-vietnam-what-will-it-mean/" target="_blank">through TPP</a></span> – is facilitating more local entrants into the high-end sector.  Even those wealthy enough to purchase in competing cities, like Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, are choosing HCMC instead because the initial investment cost is just<span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/vietnam-property-prices-cheapest-in-the-region/" target="_blank">so much lower</a></span> in Vietnam.”</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Are properties in Vietnam realistically priced?  Analysts are uncertain, but are sure the market is still far cheaper than neighboring cities.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At a housing conference, the market’s appeal to <strong>overseas investment was a hot topic</strong>.  There was broad consensus that<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/overseas-vietnamese-reacting-quickly-to-property-law-change-reports/" target="_blank">overseas Vietnamese (Viet Kieu) </a></span></span>would be attracted to their country of origin, but less agreement was found on the other new sector of the market: non-Vietnamese foreigners, particularly those that live here and rent currently.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/houseinsaigon/pic/55714e49234b8.jpg" alt="tortoise" /><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://vietapartment.com/project/detail/gateway-thao-dien-285" target="_blank"><strong>Gateway Thao Dien</strong> &#8211; Hot and luxury apartment in District 2</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Recently conducted research didn’t offer any knockout news for those on the fence, but did confirm that prices are far lower than other regional hubs like Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Much cheaper</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In fact, the comparison with neighboring countries was stark.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A ‘standard’, non-luxury apartment in Ho Chi Minh City can start at around <strong>$30,000</strong>, while similar units in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Manila go at around ten times that rate with median prices at around <strong>$300,000.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A cross-section of comparable properties also came out in Ho Chi Minh City’s favor:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/123.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-449" src="http://blog.vietapartment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/123.png" alt="Vietnam property price among reginal countries" width="1013" height="366" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In every category, ticket prices in HCMC were considerably lower than counterparts in Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila, ASEAN competitors for<a href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/dong-devaluation-to-make-big-impact-on-property-market-inward-investment/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> foreign investment dollars</strong></span>.</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> <strong>Price and affordability</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">At the ‘luxury’ end of the scale, average prices again come way under other regional metropoles.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">CBRE specializes in research on property worldwide.  A recent report of theirs shows that the average <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/foreigners-property-and-vietnam-an-introduction/" target="_blank">price of luxury apartment in HCMC</a></span></span> around <strong>$1781</strong> per square meter, (around $178000/unit at 100sqm). Similar apartments in Singapore, Shanghai or Malaysia it cost around $500,000 to $600,000.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Whether these substantially cheaper prices will rise over the next 5-10 years, thus offering greater value to speculators, is questionable – as is any declaration that low prices equate to high value.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> What is insightful however is Vietnam’s position in the <strong>affordability index</strong>.  It suggests that there is scope for locals to invest in first or upgraded homes with a <strong>greater degree of ease</strong> than some neighboring countries, with average incomes rising and capacity at a favorable level for buyers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/4561.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-451" src="http://blog.vietapartment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/4561.png" alt="affordability index of Vietnam property market" width="831" height="522" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Surveys by market-leading agents like<strong> Savills</strong> received mixed responses when seeking opinions about current prices.  It came to no conclusion about whether the overall perception that costs were ‘cheap’ or ‘expensive’, but did find common optimism that the market will favor early investment in the first months following permitted foreigner purchases. “The market is still emerging, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/extra-protection-for-foreigners-in-august-law-update/" target="_blank">still taking shape</a> </span></span>– but all the indicators are that Vietnam’s appeal to foreign businesspeople, investors and professionals will increase substantially over the next decade.” Said <strong>Mr. Troy Griffiths</strong>, CEO of Savills Vietnam.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The highest-end offerings in the market represent the biggest bargain – and the biggest opportunities for growth, say some leading experts.  Mr. Peter Ryder, “The luxury segment retains very <strong>high potency</strong>.  Prices are incredibly good in comparison with other cities, averaging around $2900/sqm here in Saigon versus $20,000/sqm in the top-line Bangkok and KL equivalents.”</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Collusion between brokers and distributors is skewing the market and short-changing customers, warn Vietnam’s real estate associations.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Vietnamese property market is making genuine progress following stagnation issues which culminated in 2014.  The progress may be skewed, however, by speculators stockpiling property in the hope of creating the illusion of limited capacity in some developments.  Collusion between suspect agents and developers are being condemned by key real estate associations, who are angry that bad practice by the few is harming the reputations of its members.</span></p>
<p><img src="http://thesun-avenue-apartment.com/img/the-sun-avenue3.jpg" alt="The Sun Avenue apartment - Continuing success project of Novaland" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://thesun-avenue-apartment.com/" target="_blank">The Sun Avenue Apartment (Novaland) in District 2</a></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">End-purchase customers are seeing prices jump by as much as 800mVND on a previously unoccupied residence as speculators manipulate the ‘early-bird’ market.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Mr. Tuan Anh, a real estate investment analyst, said: “Developers are keen to get buyers in as early as possible, and openly offer ‘first stage’ prices.  Many of these are snapped up by speculators, sometimes even before the official selling period has begun, with the sole aim of selling the property during the second stage.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Typical ‘early bird’ prices can begin at around 26mVND per square meter, while secondary offers begin at around 28mVND.  Publically, the public and long-term investors are the intended beneficiaries of preferential early investment, but in reality short-term speculators are reaping the benefits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“While this kind of speculation is frequent in every market, it’s unfortunate that developers are colluding with it by, firstly, promoting ‘early bird prices’ knowing the supply is more limited than their claims, and secondly, trumpeting early sales as a sign of a projects popularity.  This is an artificial boost to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/second-chance-with-masteri-thao-dien-in-secondary-market/" target="_blank">second stage interest</a></span></span>, and is quite discomforting.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Too many brokers</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Industry representatives echo this disquiet.  General secretary of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://www.vnrea.vn/" target="_blank">Vietnam Real Estate Association (VNrea)</a></span></span>, Tran Ngoc Quang, is particularly concerned at the negative impact at a time – following the laws of July 1<sup>st</sup> – when efforts to attract overseas investors are showing early signs of success.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Customers are being faced with a barrage of disreputable agents and bad practice, who are inundating enquirers – here and overseas – with repeated pleas to invest in property they know to be inflated in value.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Approaches by text message are becoming a real cause for concern.  One unhappy recipient, Mr Viet Dung of Hanoi, reports receiving “many messages from strange numbers at all hours of the day, even after midnight.  It’s so persistent, and impacting my sleep, making me feel terrible.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Electronic inboxes are flooded with equal frequency.  Ms Thuy Hang, also of Hanoi, receives “on a regular basis 15 new messages each time I check my email, many of which offer adjoining or identical properties for varying prices.  It really distorts any interest I had in the first place.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">One developer, who wishes to remain anonymous, distanced himself from such practices while acknowledging their impact:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">“Value is high when demand is high.  This kind of practice doesn’t generate demand for the market as a whole, and so disappoints us greatly. The problem is with individual brokers.  For them, it works: they can send thousands of messages to unsuspecting would-be customers, and if they generate even 1 or 2 sales, they’re very happy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>High brokerage costs</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The overall effect is disorientating for would-be buyers.  One such potential homeowner, Mr Tuan of Tay Son-Dong Da, is feeling pressured and misled:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> “Every day, I get calls from brokers with different prices, most of which are ascending.  Over the last 2 months, quotes have increased by as much as 3mVND per square meter.  But it doesn’t take much digging to discover they are pushing apartments which have remained unsold the whole time.  It’s bizarre.”</span></p>
<p><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/houseinsaigon/pic/5577b78dcec60.jpg" alt="tortoise" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://vietapartment.com/project/detail/estella-heights-apartment-for-sale-in-district-2-luxury-project-363" target="_blank"><strong>E<span style="font-size: 12pt;">stella Heights apartment</span></strong> </a></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">will be opened to sell second stage in this month</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The overall health of the market has been trumpeted recently.  The first 4 months of 2015 saw the<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"> <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/minister-of-construction-the-price-increase-is-not-due-to-land-speculation/" target="_blank">Ministry of Construction record</a> </span><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/vietnam-real-estate-market-foreign-investors-should-notice-about-the-noise/" target="_blank">5850 transactions</a></span></span>, 2.5 times the same period in 2014.  April alone accounted for 1600 completed sales, a 10% rise on the previous month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Though sales have genuinely seen an upturn in the last year, one Hanoian expert suggested the numbers were inflated by dubious means. “Distributors and brokers are responding to many queries with ‘sorry, sold out’, to create the impression of high demand and inflate short-term prices.”  He went on to say “It’s a pointless inflation – we know these projects are making a healthy number of sales per day, but the announced figures are often magnified two or three fold.  It’s unsustainable and will hurt their projects in the long run.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All buyers are being subjected to such tactics, but fears are that foreigners and Viet Kieu (overseas Vietnamese) will bear the brunt as they are unfamiliar with the local market.  All buyers are urged to work with reputable agents who are verifiable by trade associations such as:</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Vietnamese government has issued new directives to reassure overseas property investors through guarantees and avenues of recourse for prospective projects.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/houseinsaigon/pic/5577b780b1b94.png" alt="tortoise" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-size: 12pt;"><strong><em><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://vietapartment.com/project/detail/estella-heights-apartment-for-sale-in-district-2-luxury-project-363" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Estella Heights</span> -new project in District 2</a></em></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As of August 9<sup>th</sup>, any new development must be <strong>guaranteed financially</strong> before a project is due to commence.  This updated guidance is seen as a move to <strong>reduce perceived risks</strong> from overseas investors, who were granted <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;"><strong><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/foreigners-property-and-vietnam-an-introduction/" target="_blank">new rights to legally purchase property</a> </strong></span>for the first time on <span style="color: #000000;">July 1st, 2015. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>New circular</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Institutions have acted following a spate of litigation by disgruntled buyers of projects which weren’t delivered on time.  The State Bank’s updated guidance, emerging from Circular No. 07/2015/TT-NHNN, requires certain conditions to be met before a purchase or a project can be ratified.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Guarantees for buyer, developer and lending institutions must now be made clear and <strong>transparent </strong>before a purchase is recognized.  Should either buyer or developer fail to meet their obligations, the lending parties will be liable to <strong>pay full compensation</strong>, including re deposits and advance payments.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">While it’s expected that additional cost burdens related to securing guarantees from commercial bank may be reflected in marginally higher prices, the aim is to make the property market a more transparent and credible destination for foreign capital.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>A bigger role for banks </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It’s hoped that asking more of commercial banks will ensure projects are <strong><em>better managed</em></strong> throughout the development phase.  Banks who previously issued lump-sum loans to developers were often left with debts and write-offs, whereas under the new stipulations, commercial banks have an active role in <strong>ensuring money is treated correctly</strong> through a project’s lifetime.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lending banks are expected to <strong>perform more</strong> <strong>stringent diligence</strong> on a <strong>developer’s financial capacity</strong>, <strong>project feasibility</strong> and <strong>market conditions</strong> before sanctioning contracts.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Vietnamese construction companies are clamoring to build new medical facilities, thanks to tax incentives.  But will both patient and property developer feel the benefits?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Amidst the rush to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>meet demands for residential</strong></span> property in light of new laws allowing foreigners to buy, Vietnam’s premier developers are racing to fulfill the needs of another sector undergoing a <strong>building boom: healthcare</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">All the big names are in on the gold rush: <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://vinhomescentralparkproject.com/" target="_blank">Vingroup</a></strong></span></span> are building 10 hospitals – branded ‘Vinmec’ throughout the country, as well as a Vingroup Medical University.  <strong>Hoa Lam</strong>, another big beast of the industry, have broken ground on a vast 40-hectare facility locally known as “Medical City”.  <strong>FLC group</strong> are also set to join the party, with other construction giants investing heavily in partnerships or readying independent announcements.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <img class="img-responsive" title="Vinhomes Central Park apartment - The biggest project of Vingroup" src="http://vinhomescentralparkproject.com/img/vinhomes11.jpg" alt="Vinhomes Central Park apartment - The biggest project of Vingroup" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://vinhomescentralparkproject.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Vinhomes Central Park</span> and Vinmec International Hospital</a></span></strong></span></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">According to Mr. Tran Hong Phong of HCMC Lawyer’s Association, this is a direct result of Government policy: “Each enterprise that invests in hospital construction will have an applicable <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>tax rate of 10%</strong></span> on income during construction, thanks to provisions of the Enterprise Income Tax Law.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Government incentives don’t stop there.  Intended to support construction which “benefits the public”, medical construction projects may be eligible for:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Land tax<strong> exemption for 9 years</strong>;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Preferential <strong>loan rates</strong> for <strong>up to 70</strong>% of capital outlay;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Import/export tax <strong>exemptions for equipment</strong> and logistical costs;</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Relaxation of accounting protocols</strong> allowing losses to be<strong> pushed back</strong> and made tax deductible for up to 5 years.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Ongoing value</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Experts estimate that such practices coupled with operational income yields around <strong>20% annually</strong> for up to 10 years.  With such grand financial cherries to pick, it’s little wonder that companies – traditionally focused on residential and commercial construction – are looking to<strong> leverage every aspect</strong> of the <strong>medical sector,</strong> from hospitals to schools to smaller medical centers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A former chairman of a large hospital group (asking not to be named) said the picture is very different from five years ago.  “In 2010, it was difficult to get developers on board with such a project due to restrictive registration procedures, and this following long negotiation periods.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now though, he says, it’s much easier &#8211; but not always entirely in spirit with the law.  “Developers and real estate companies have always liked to retain control over facilities within projects such as entertainment and shopping – now if they include healthcare facilities, they can enjoy the additional benefits of ‘providing for the public’, too”.  Vinpearl Phu Quoc and Vinhomes Central Park are two such projects which include medical facilities, and few dispute the benefits to investor and resident alike of such an approach.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Bed boom needed</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">What experts are discussing is whether the policy will have a net benefit for the wider public.  Ministry of Health information says that demand for capital currently outstrips supply, with the national budget capable of meeting only 40% of demand (around 20,000billion VND).  The spending aims to bring Vietnam’s healthcare in line with global standards, but the ambition of matching near neighbors is currently some distance from being met.  Hospital bed provision stands at <strong>23 beds per 10000 residents</strong> – still short of recommended WHO guidelines (minimum <strong>39/10000</strong>) and a long way from South Korea and Japan (at 80 and 140 respectively).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/houseinsaigon/pic/5596587659b63.jpg" alt="tortoise" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Healthy living space in<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://vietapartment.com/project/detail/estella-heights-a-class-beyond-455" target="_blank">Estella Heights in District 2</a></span></span></span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">This shortfall – and the desire to catch up fast – spells huge opportunities for companies like Vingroup, Hoa Lam and FLC.  But it isn’t just construction companies, with commercial banks now investing hugely in the field.  Whilst some like <strong>VietinBank</strong> have entered into negotiation with the Government, <strong>BIDV</strong> has been the first to formalize its action.  They’ve launched a credit package for with <strong>total capital of 20000 billion VND</strong>, applicable from from June 15<sup>th</sup> 2015 to May 31<sup>st</sup> 2022.  Of this, 12000 billion is ring fenced for medical equipment with the remainder dedicated to infrastructure development and maintenance.  Recipients are incentivized with attractive interest rates for up to 15 years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Time will tell if such dizzying numbers result in benefits to patients – but there is little doubt that Vietnam’s construction and investment industries will be working to make that happen and reap the rewards.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Property in Vietnam has a lot to offer investors – could you be one of the beneficiaries?  Leave a comment below or <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://goo.gl/forms/AVMDfevzvW" target="_blank">get in touch</a></span></span></em> and we’ll keep you up to date with industry development.</strong></span></p>

Tien Phuoc is the local partner of this corporation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Tien Phuoc</strong> is known as real estate <strong>developers</strong> with large projects, but the most of alls <strong>cooperate with Keppel Land</strong>-a<strong> leading real estate</strong> group of <strong>Singapore</strong>, and such projects usually known as Keppel Land projects brand.</span></p>

In 2012, the project have been <strong>approved</strong> <strong>by HCMC People&#8217;s Committee</strong> for <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tien Phuoc -Keppel Land</span></em> as developers. It is built on <strong>Lot 2B</strong> land in <strong>Thu Thiem urban area</strong> &#8211;  a combination of commercial centers, <em><strong>offices, apartments, hotels,</strong></em> &#8230; especially <strong>86-floor</strong> observation<strong> tower</strong>.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">&#8220;Currently, it’s a really<strong> big number</strong> of<strong> speculative investors</strong> in each project. Real demand is still there but <strong>not equal to</strong> the amount from<strong> speculators</strong> &#8220;, said <em><strong>Ms. Do Thu Hang.</strong></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In the first half of 2015, the <strong>Vietnam real estate market</strong> of apartment for sales has a <strong>sharp breakthrough</strong>, especially the supply of opensales projects. According to the statistics,<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> 13.000 apartments</span></strong> are opened for sales in the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>first half year</strong></span>. This amount is <strong>equal to</strong> the supply of the <strong>whole 2014</strong> year. In<strong> forecast</strong> by experts, The supply of the <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>whole year</strong></span></em> would become <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>over the strong growth period in 2006 – 2010</em></strong></span>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Ms. Do Thu Hang, <em>Head of Research and consultancy department of Savills Hanoi</em> has answered around this problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><b>Despite of a large amount of apartment for sales in the market, there is still a phenomenon of increasing price after every open sales ceremony of the developers. In your opinion, what is the reason for this problem?</b></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We realize that recently there is large amount of apartment for sales. In detailed, it is about<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> 7.000 units</strong></span> in <strong>1st Quarter</strong> (the <strong>consumption rate is 40%</strong>),  <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>6.000 units</strong></span> more was added in <strong>2nd Quarter</strong> from <strong>27</strong> different <strong>projects</strong>. So, the<strong> total</strong> amount is about <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>13.000</strong></span> apartments.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">There are some <strong>developers consider</strong> about the <strong>quantity of apartments</strong> after each sales opening, or consider to <strong>increase apartment prices</strong> periodically. In my opinion, it is their <strong>business strategy</strong>.<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> Only</strong> </span>projects with <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>good location or high reputation investors could raise prices</strong></span>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://blog.vietapartment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MsDothuhangSavills.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-312 size-full" src="http://blog.vietapartment.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/MsDothuhangSavills.jpg" alt="MsDothuhangSavills" width="660" height="475" /><br />
</a>Do Thu Hang, Head of Research and consultancy department of<strong> Savills Hanoi</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><b>The fact of speculative trends have returned to the real estate market. According to you, what is the impact of this trend in ̉ the rest of this year, 2015?</b></em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Currently, it’s a really <strong>big number</strong> of <strong>speculative investors</strong> in each project. Real demand is still there but not equal to the amount of speculators and investors. We think that this<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> may cause some consequences.</strong></span></em> When a speculative <strong>investor</strong> buy a house, they <strong>expect</strong> the house <strong>price would raise</strong> in the future. And this will<strong> lead to the price increasing in the future</strong> of whole market. However, we<strong> don’t need to worry</strong> so much about that <strong>due to</strong> the<strong> big number of products</strong> in the real estate market, even the buyer with speculative purpose will meet that problem and should consider carefully.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We predict that <strong>many transactions to be made in the rest of 2015</strong>. However, the speculative factor may distort demands.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><b>The real estate market has a sharp recovery at this time. The supplies and credit increases<span style="color: #ff0000;"> 11%</span> compared with the same period last year. So, according to you, would it occur the real estate bubble or not? </b></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Looking at the <strong>short term</strong>, in recent, the market <strong>reached its bottom</strong> and had a <strong>fast recovery.</strong> We realize that the transactions in 2015 are in the high level.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Since the Law of housing is amended and accepted by the National Assembly in Nov 2014, which allowed foreigners (actually for oversea Vietnamese) to buy houses in Vietnam, there were nearly 7.000 people owned a house in this country.</em></strong></p>
<p>Talking to the media at the meeting to announce the program “Comeback Homeland Spring 2015”, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs <strong>Vu Hong Nam</strong> said, from the law of housing amended on, there were <strong>7.000 oversea Vietnamese</strong> owned a house in Vietnam. “With the environment for investment, business is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">gradually improving</span>, the changes in approaches of the law-maker…pulled oversea people back to their homeland more and more”<br />
Results from the Research Institute for Economic Management TW (Minister of Planning and Investment) and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Western Union</em></span> conducted at the end of 2014 said, a remarkable portion of remittances sent back to Vietnam used to buy real estate.<br />
Total of remittances in 2014 reached <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">12 billion USD</span></strong>. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em><span style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">16-17%</span> flowed into real estate market.<br />
</em></strong></span><br />

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://vietapartment.com/project/detail/estella-heights-apartment-for-sale-in-district-2-luxury-project-363" target="_blank">Estella Heights apartment in District 2</a> </span></strong>attracts many Vietkieu&#8217;s attention at the moment</em></p>
<p><center></center>Namely, at 7 provinces and cities which had the big amount of remittances, over 30% receiver in recent 3-5 year is for bank deposits, 27-30% for manufacture and business, 20% for gold and 16-17% for real estate. With the total of remittances estimated at 12 billion USD in 2014, there would be about 1.5 billion USD used for buying hoses and lands.<br />
According to Master Vo Tri Thanh, Deputy Director of Research Institute for Economic Management TW, the number shall be changed in the near future when the new law of housing take its affects from 1<sup>st</sup> July 2014. The openness in allowing oversea Vietnamese, foreigners to own and trading houses in Vietnam could give the remittances for real estate a push. Since<strong><em> 1<sup>st</sup> July 2015</em></strong>, the law of housing (applied) allowed, oversea Vietnamese who lived abroad could have the right of owning a house without restriction on the number and type of house ownership. It is <em><strong>only when they are accepted by the authority to allow entry to Vietnam</strong></em>. The same for the foreigners. Specially, organizations and individuals are allowed to invest and build housing project for rent. Early, the overseas Vietnamese and foreigners want to buy houses in Vietnam shall comply with Resolution 19/2008 / QH12 very limited. Thus, according to the Department of Housing Management and Real Estate Market (MOC), the 5-year (2009-2014), who was just over <em><strong>400 overseas Vietnamese and foreigners</strong> </em>buy houses in Vietnam.</p>
<p><img class="img-responsive" title="Vinhomes Central Park apartment - The biggest project of Vingroup" src="http://vinhomescentralparkproject.com/img/vinhomes10.jpg" alt="Vinhomes Central Park apartment - The biggest project of Vingroup" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://vinhomescentralparkproject.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Vinhomes Central Park apartment</strong></span> </a>residence is one of great choice for foreigners in Vietnam in 2016</p>
<p>Commenting on the changes in housing policy in Vietnam, <strong><em>Richard Leech</em></strong>, Executive Director of <strong><em>CBRE Vietnam</em></strong>, the conditions for foreigners to own houses in Vietnam more open than the previous forecast, which marked an important step in opening up the real estate market for foreign investors. The <strong>two provisions are</strong> <strong>limited</strong> only to the <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">foreign ownership period not exceeding 50 years</span> </em>and the <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">amount of property owned up in an apartment building</span></em> / a ward-level administrative units (or equivalent equivalent). In addition, there are no limits on property ownership permitted. Answering the question, whether or not a wave of overseas Vietnamese and foreigners poured money to buy real estate in Vietnam when the Housing Law (amended) effective from 01.07.2015, Richard Leech said that may Law no immediately impact, but it definitely makes the housing market has improved recently went towards <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">more positive</span></strong>.<br />
&#8220;Housing Law amendment will help Vietnam market becomes more attractive for foreigners living and working in Vietnam, who want to invest in this market and erase the initial barriers, create a more<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> fair playing field between foreigners and people of Vietnam</span></strong>, &#8220;said Mr. Leech.</p>
